klein technique
taught by barbara mahler
This class is grounded in the explorations and studies of the body, at rest and in motion. It is an approach to movement re-education which has been in development since 1972. Class provides the technical and conceptual underpinnings to support all styles of movement and aesthetic viewpoints. The purpose of class is to re-educate one's body with an interweaving of theory and practice on a physical, experiential and organic level. The result is clarity, sureness of movement and a new level of understanding the innate intelligence of oneʼs body. In order to move most efficiently, it is necessary to let go of the muscles that fix the body into a set and locked configuration and hold us back from moving. When the bones are aligned, we become connected and powerful, efficient and strong. The aim is also to lessen the possibility of injury by bringing a deep knowing of oneʼs body into their moving practice. The class is open to all levels, dancers and nondancers alike.
